I didn't know this until he just dropped into a conversation that he'd once been on a pub crawl round london with Jarvis Cocker which included a pub quiz. Jarvis is a good quizzer. He seems to think Jarvis is a nice guy too. That’s great. Love hearing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 For me that's so difficult to choose just one, I've kept changing my mind... started off when I was 15 as With or Without You, then Stairway to Heaven, then maybe the acoustic version of Creep by Radiohead or Linger by The Cranberries (or maybe Zombie or No Need to Argue) or Small Black Flowers by the Manics or a Fleetwood Mac song, perhaps Dreams or The Chain... Very difficult to choose one song! :s I've ended up going for Pictures of You, which is an exquisite song by The Cure, my favourite band. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Ah, well, see if it's a what's my best song discussion, then it's this. Though it is a mash-up, so obviously, not actually *my* song(s), but if there ever was a deity, then they were absolutely working through me when the inspiration struck for this. Who knew Busta Rhymes and twinkly math rock would work so well together? Truly, the zenith of my artistic endeavour. Of similar note, I once wrote a 90's trance cover of the theme tune from Pingu, sampling the drum parts from Safri Duo's Played-A-Live (The Bongo Song), which I submitted as part of my portfolio to get onto the music production course I wanted to do at uni. I'm still amazed to this day that they let me on the premises. I did once pen a progressive tech number that I could legitimately listen to without hating both it and myself, but sadly that has been long lost to time. I can't even remember what I called it, the laptop it was written on has long since departed and I've no idea where the CD-R I burnt it on might be. Halcyon days, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I should state that there isn't a measure of best song, I have just posted three of my favourites. One man's best is another man's steaming pile of cow dung. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted August 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2023 I used to have a favourite song, a favourite movie, whatever. I just simply don’t now. That’s a little bit down to naturally moving away from High Fidelity style top fives, definitive lists. But mainly it’s because I realised it’s pretty difficult and fairly futile to weigh up and decide whether I like “The Boxer” more or less than “Fake Plastic Trees”. If I’m ever asked what my favourite song is (I never am) I normally rattle off a few bands and say that’s the stuff I like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 Its different for me.I prefer instrumental music,so its not too hard to pick a best vocal.On the other hand,if I had to pick a best instrumental,then there would be 4/5 maybe even 6.
